Not illustrated. 1893 Excerpt: ... by Mr. Cross, and which was indicated as still existing in a drawing made on November 6, 1892, by Mr. Ellis. A drawing by M. Antouiadi on September 2, 1892 (see Fig. 11, Plate I.), shows three very dark spots on the N. edge of the south equatorial belt, with streamers extending from them into the equatorial zone. Unfortunately no other drawings of this region were made about this date, but a drawing made by the Director on September 14, 1892 (see Fig. 14, Plate I.), shows a somewhat analogous, although less distinctly defined, feature. Section III., longitude 1200 to 18o.--This section is shown completely by 9 drawings, and partially by 24 others. In this section there appear to have been during the early part of the opposition great disturbances on the margins of the belts bordering the equatorial zone, as is well illustrated in the drawings made by Lieut. Molesworth and Mr. Buttemer on A.ug. 3 and 28, 1892, respectively. The first named of these drawings is reproduced in Fig. i5, Plate I. In drawings made at a later period this disturbance is much less marked. A drawing made by M. Antoniadi on October g, 1892 (see Fig. 16, Plate II.), shows a noticeable bright spot preceded by a dark marking on the N. edge of the south equatorial belt, this spot being attended by faint streamers. Section IV., longitude 1800 to 2400.--This section is illustrated completely by 7, and partially by 29 drawings. Of the seven drawings just referred to three are reproduced in Figs. 17, 18, and 19 on Plate II. These drawings, which are by Mr. Evershed, Lieut. Molesworth, and the Eev. T. H. Foulkes, respectively, well illustrate the features of the section. The disturbed condition of the north and south equatorial belts, and the north temperate belts, and the numerous dark markin...
